How to do a HOME FRUIT FACIAL.?


A proper skincare regime with cleansing, exfoliating and toning followed with fruit masks helps restore firmness and rejuvenate your skin. Regular use of facemasks made from fruits nourishes skin, reduces blemishes and keeps wrinkles at bay. Follow these steps for a home fruit facial.

Things You’ll Need:

  • Cold milk
  • Cotton ball
  • Orange peel
  • Oatmeal
  • Honey
  • Strawberries
  • Lemon juice
  • Yogurt
  • Tomato
  • Papaya or apricot
  • Cream
  • Banana
  • Cinnamon

Skin Preparation:

  1. Cleanse your face with cold milk. Soak a cotton ball in cold milk and rub in a circular motion over face and neck. Wash with lukewarm water. Milk removes dirt from deep pores and gives an instant brightness to the skin.
  2. Exfoliate your skin with orange peel and oatmeal to remove dead cells. Grate the skin of an orange and dry it in the sun. Mix 1 tsp. each of oatmeal and dried powder of the orange peel with enough water to make a paste. Rub gently over face and neck using your fingertips and wash off.
  3. Moisturize your skin with honey, which also acts as a bleach to lighten blemishes and tiny facial hair. Apply carefully avoiding the eyebrows and hairline. Wash after 10 minutes.
  4. Gently steam your face over hot water to open up the pores. Boil a pot of water and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Lean over with a towel over your head to keep the steam in but not too close to scald your skin.
Fruit Masks:
  1. Chop a handful of strawberries in the blender. Add the juice of 1 lemon and 1/2 cup yogurt. Store in refrigerator for 30 minutes and then apply on the face and neck. Leave it for 1/2 hour and then rinse with cold water.
  2. Blend 1 ripe tomato and add a few drops of lemon juice. Refrigerate for 20 minutes and then add one tbsp. of honey. Apply it thick over neck and face. Wait for it to dry and then wash.
  3. Deseed 1/2 papaya or apricot and mash it well. Add a few tablespoons of cream and whip. Apply to the forehead, face and neck avoiding the eyes. Wash off in 1/2 hour.
  4. Mash a ripe banana along with a pinch of cinnamon powder. Add a few drops of honey and lemon juice to make a paste. Apply liberally over the face and wash after 20 minutes.

The best natural way to treat scars is to apply Vitamin E directly on the scar itself. This will help in producing more

collagen (protein) and when new collagen is produced, new cell growth is accelerated to fade away your scars. Taking Vitamin

E orally does not help so much because very little of the goodness is distributed to the skin and face. Go for serum or

creams which shows very high concentration of natural Vitamin E as the ingredient. Make sure they are no chemical substitute

which may cause unwanted side effects.

One such product you may try is Natur E scar serum (which i found to be a wonderful product that works). It is a natural

product containing 28000 iu of Vitamin E, hence safe of side effects - yet it works. You can find out more on
